Rail corrugation is a periodic rail surface roughness that is formed as the rolling stock runs repeatedly on the rail.The rail corrugation occurs in various track alignment and track structures, but the generation mechanism and wavelength determination mechanism are often unknown.Therefore, in this paper, in order to measure the rail surface roughn
Preliminary Assessment of Sea Star (Echinodermata, Asteroidea) Diversity in the Coastal Magellanic Region (South Chile) and Their Geographical Distribution
Sea stars are a diverse and important component of the Southern Ocean benthos.However, scarce information is available regarding their diversity, distribution, evolution, and taxonomic uncertainties persist for multiple taxa.The Magellanic Region (south of Chile) remains under-sampled despite its pivotal location Activity Toy for species distributi
Medical Image Processing for Fully Integrated Subject Specific Whole Brain Mesh Generation
Currently, anatomically consistent segmentation of vascular trees acquired with magnetic resonance imaging requires the use of multiple image processing steps, which, in turn, depend on manual intervention.In effect, segmentation of vascular trees from medical images is time consuming and error prone due to the tortuous geometry and weak signal in
Emerging concepts in biomarker discovery; The US-Japan workshop on immunological molecular markers in oncology
Abstract Supported by the Office of International Affairs, National Cancer Institute (NCI), the "US-Japan Workshop on Immunological Biomarkers in Oncology" was held in March 2009.The workshop was related to a task force launched by the International Society for the Biological Therapy of Cancer (iSBTc) and the United States Food and Drug Administrat
